The IRS recently issued Notice 2022-53 providing guidance that they intend to issue final regulations re- lating to required minimum distribution rules for certain inherited IRAs. The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (SECURE Act) made changes to distribution rules for IRA bene- ficiaries. The Act maintained the ability to stretch annual distributions over the remaining life expectancy for eligible designated beneficiaries (spouses, individuals not more than ten years younger than the IRA owner, chronically ill or disabled persons and minor children) but implemented a new 10-year distribution rule for most other beneficiary types (adult children, siblings, certain trusts, etc.).

When things are not going my way, one great lesson has been to know when to pivot and when to keep pushing forward with the same idea. It has been an incredible journey, with its ups and downs - but with an abundance of life lessons and great memories.

Our strategy increased 2.3 percent (gross of fees) this quarter, exceeding the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, which decreased 11.0 percent. Year to date, we are -50.9 percent, versus -33.3 percent for the benchmark. After a frantic sell off in the first half of the year, the third quarter began with a breather.

Last week, during the Fed’s wildly anticipated annual Jackson Hole meeting, Chairman Jerome Powell delivered hawkish remarks on the economy and the degree to which the central bank is going to focus, at all costs, to bring down inflation. He talked about the consequences of tight monetary policy and how it may mean a period of difficulty for the labor market and economic growth, but this cost is necessary to get inflation under control. In the 1980s, Paul Volcker eased up on their policy too quickly and inflation accelerated again.
